Star-Telegram Selects Best and Worst Celebrity Authors

Think Hollywood is the only place to get celebrity autographs?
Nowadays, fans only have to visit their nearest bookstore to
meet authors such as Bill Cosby, Maria Shriver, Jamie Lee
Curtis and Sarah Ferguson. As bookshelves around the country
are being stocked with celebrity-authored children's books,
the Star-Telegram's
Book Editor Jeff Guinn uncovers which
celebrity children's books you can't put down and which ones
should remain on the shelf. His best and worst picks appear
in the Life & Arts section of today's Star-Telegram.

Guinn's best picks by celebrity authors include:
The Meanest Thing to Say by Bill Cosby,
What's Heaven
by Maria Shriver and The Jolly Mon by Jimmy Buffett.
His picks for the worst include: Laura
Schlessinger's Why Do You Love Me? by Dr. Laura Schlessinger,
Today I Feel Silly and Other Moods That Make My Day by
Jamie Lee Curtis and Budgie Goes to Sea by Her Royal Dutchess
of York, Sarah Ferguson

"From Jimmy Buffett to Jamie Lee Curtis, with Bill Cosby and
Dr. Laura Schlessinger in between, the past three years have
seen more celebrities signing contracts with major publishing
houses to write children's books," comments Guinn.
